SUMMARY OF EXCEPTIONS TO THE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
UNDER THE ACT

Certificate Number: 57-R-0012
Customer Number: 907

3.26fc) “ Indoor housing facilities for guinea pigs or hamsters shall have ample
light, by natural or artificial means, or both, of good quality and well distributed.
Such lighting shall provide uniformly distributed illumination of sufficient light
intensity to permit routine inspection and cleaning during the entire working
period.”

Protocol A05017-0608

Justification: Hamsters will be provided with running wheels that are part of a
computerized system that records and analyzes wheel revolutions. The
circadian wheel running rhythm will be used as a marker for the timing of the
underlying circadian clock, as is commonly done in many studies of circadian
rhythms. As a result we will need to place hamsters in light-dark cycles when we
study the synchronization of the clock with light and in constant darkness or
constant light when we study the timing of the clock unrestrained by light-dark
cycles.

Protocol A06022-01 09

Justification; To test the effects of visual information on development of the visual
system and recovery from damage, some hamsters will be maintained in a light-
tight room from birth to various ages (30, 60, 90, 120, and 300 days of age). Any
observations or manipulations, including cage cleaning and feeding, must be
done under dim red illumination.

Number of animals affected: Approximately 387 Syrian hamsters as it applies to
both protocols during this reporting period.

3.28fb>(3)(ii) “ A nursing female hamster, together with her litter, shall be housed
in a primary enclosure which contains no other hamsters...”

Protocol A07001-0210

Justification: All of our breeding female Siberian dwarf hamsters with litters are
housed with the adult male sire because our experience is that, unlike common
golden hamsters, the Siberian dwarf hamster male is not injured by the female
and he participates in the rearing of the young such that pup survival is higher
when the sire is present.

Number of animals affected: Approximately 2386 Siberian hamsters as it applies
to this reporting period. This includes brewing pairs and their progeny.

3.31fatf1) “Primary enclosures shall be cleaned and sanitized often enough to
prevent an accumulation of excreta or debris: Provided, however, that such
enclosures shall be sanitized at lease once every 2 weeks...”

We sometimes do not change hamster cages for up to maximally 3 weeks due to
the experimental needs of lACUC-approved research involving territorial
aggression and circadian rhythms.

Protocol A05017-0608

JUSTIFICATION: The resident-intruder paradigm is a test used to study
aggression in hamsters. When an unfamiliar hamster (“intruder”) is placed into
the home cage of a “resident” hamster, the resident exhibits a great deal of
aggression towards the intruder. Our lab injects drugs into various areas of the
brain to study how neuropeptides influence these aggressive behaviors, in order
to help residents establish their “territories” it is necessary that the bedding not
be changed in the home cage of the resident for 1 week prior to testing. This
leaves only 1 week for testing before the cages must be changed. However, we
often require several test days (up to 4) in order to test several drugs or multiple
doses of a single drug in the same animal. We usually wait 4-5 days between
tests because many of these drugs remain In the animals’ system for several
days. Thus, an additional week of “no cage changing” would allow sufficient time
to conduct multiple tests of aggression under a variety of drug conditions.
Importantly, our experiments require that this 3 week interval between cage

Protocols A0601 2-1 208 &A06014-1 208 (both have identical justification as
detailed below)

JUSTIFICATION; I would like to extend the maximum time between cage
changes to 3 weeks. This is not for routine cage changes, but for special
experimental cases for which we are concerned that the odor stimulus provided
by the odor-donor's cage is not sufficiently strong. This is the case when
experimental animals are not allowed to contact the bedding stimulus (as part of
an experimental manipulation) and thus do not activate additional nasal
chemoreceptors. A maximum of 3 weeks between cage changes would allow for
maximal odor accumulation in a stimulus animal's cage without causing
substantial ammonia accumulation.

In the past, we have acquired all of the animals in our colony from Charles River
Laboratories with the exception of a small number of litters that we have bred
ourselves. However, as a result of the success we have had in breeding and in
an effort to control the developmental history of our animal subjects, we wish to
breed and maintain a stable colony of Syrian hamsters at Georgia State
University in lieu of ordering from an outside vendor. Care will be taken to
reduce maternal stress both during pregnancy and after parturition, as this may
cause her to spontaneously abort or cannibalize her offspring. We are
requesting 3 weeks between cage changes for the breeding female. That is, the
cage is changed 1 week prior to birth and then changed again 2 weeks after birth
as we are currently approved for 3 week cage changes.

Number of animals affected: Approximately 2463 as it applies to ail three
protocols during this reporting period.

3.28fcM2)fin “The interior height of any primary enclosure used to confine
hamsters shall be at least 6 inches.”

Protocol A07001-0210

Justification: We maintain our Siberian dwarf in mouse cages, some of which are
6 inches in height and some of which are 5 inches in height. All Turkish and
Syrian hamsters are housed in cages which are 8 inches in height. We have
found the mouse cages 5 inches in height to be of suitable height for the Siberian
dwarf hamsters and thus continue this practice.

Number of animals affected: Approximately 3605 are maintained in cages that
are 5 inches in height as it applies to this reporting period. This represents
approximately 75% of our Siberian hamster population.

3.30 “Unless food supplements consumed by guinea pigs or hamsters supply
them with their normal water requirements, potable water shall be provided daily
except as might otherwise be required to provide adequate veterinary care.”

Protocol A06014-1 208

Justification: Electrophysiological recordings are performed in awake, behaving
male hamsters that have been trained to poke their nose into a small port that
provides them with exposure to different odorants. Upon detection of an odorant,
the animal must hold its nose in the odor port for 1-1 .5 sec to receive water
reward at a separate water dispenser. To maintain performance, hamsters are
deprived of water for 24 hours prior to testing (as well as food, as rodents do not
consume food without water). Animals will be allowed at least 48 hours of ad
libitum access to food and water between deprivation periods. As animals will be
given water reward during testing, food will also be available in the testing
environment. Animals are monitored daily for dehydration by testing skin
elasticity (pulled skin that fails to snap back to animal indicates dehydration) and
are extensively handled prior to and after electrode implantation as well as
between recording sessions in order to minimize stress to the animal.

Number of animals affected: Approximately 240 as it applies to this reporting
period.

3.29 “Guinea pigs and hamsters shall be fed each day except as othenwise
might be required to provide adequate veterinary care.”

Protocol A0501 7-0608

JUSTIFICATION: The resident-intruder paradigm is a test used to study
aggression in hamsters. When an unfamiliar hamster (“intruder”) is placed into
the home cage of a “resident” hamster, the resident exhibits a great deal of
aggression towards the intruder. However, approximately 25% of the residents
that arrive from the vendor are not aggressive even after housing isolation.

These animals are either removed from the study or become intruders for future
studies, in order to standardize aggression and decrease the number of non-
aggressive residents removed from the experiments, we would like to modify our
resident intruder paradigm and improve our techniques to increase successful
aggressive encounters. To do this, we would like to food deprive, food restrict,
and/or alter dietary composition in addition to performing our normal resident-
intruder protocol. If our preliminary studies demonstrate increased aggression
with the food manipulations, we would use the protocol that would be least
stressful for the animals. The protocol would be implemented for all the hamsters
to keep the manipulations consistent. We hope to further increase aggressive
behaviors through the use of food competition. Additionally, we would like to use
these food intake paradigms to study the effect of competitive types of
aggression on behavior and brain neurochemical changes in the animals
subjected to the food manipulations.

Food Deprivation: Resident and/or intruder hamsters may be subjected to food
deprivation periods for up to 48 continuous hours prior to the resident-intruder
paradigm. Water will be available ad libitum. It has been demonstrated that a 48-
hour food deprivation does not produce detrimental, long-term changes to
behavioral or physiological measures in hamsters [1]. Body weights and overall
well-being will be monitored daily throughout the food deprivation periods.
Records of the daily body weight measurements and changes will be kept by the
researcher. Body weights will be recorded daily by the researchers and
documented in the lab notebooks. A sheet will also be attached to the animal’s
medical record clipboard listing the current body weights of the day. If any animal
should lose more than 20% of their initial body weight, ad lib access to food and
water will be provided until body weight loss is less than 10% of the initial start
weight before being returned to the study. Under food deprivation, it takes 72

hours for Syrian hamsters to lose ~20% of their initial body weight [2]. The 48-
hour food deprivation timeline is well below or within the acceptable range of
what is normally perfonned for hamsters [1-3].

Food Restriction: Resident and/or intruder hamsters may be subjected to food
restriction periods for up to 48 continuous hours prior to the resident-intruder
paradigm. Hanging steel food hoppers will be used to hold food to facilitate food
intake measurements. Animals will be given half the weight (approximately 5
grams) of their normal ad libitum food intake. Body weights and overall well-being
will be monitored throughout the food deprivation period. If any animal should
lose more than 20% of their initial body weight, ad lib access to food and water
will be provided until body weight loss is less than 10% of the initial start weight
before being returned to the study. Under food-restriction, it takes 4-7 days
before a 20% loss in body weight occurs, thus the 48 hours of food restriction are
well within acceptable ranges [2, 3).

Altered Dietary Composition: Resident and/or intruder hamsters may be
subjected to alterations in their daily diets to promote food competition. Standard
laboratory chow as supplied by animal facilities and/or nutritionally complete,
well-balanced diets which have varying fat-carbohydrate contents will be
provided for the hamsters prior to and during the resident-intruder pairing.
Palatable foods and liquids (e.g. sucrose pellets [4], graham cracker crumbs[5],
sweetened milk formula [3, 6]) will potentially be provided to the hamsters with
the goal to study food competition without food deprivation. The intent is to
provide these palatable items to the animals prior to and during the resident-
intruder pairing. This is the alternative to food deprivation and food restriction.
Additionally, the intention is to derive more data from the current experimental
groups. However, this last food manipulation has the most potential to becoming
an additional experimental objective. If so, this section will be amended further
with more detail and animal numbers.

Number of animals affected; Approximately 344 as it applies to this reporting
period.

RE: lACUC Approved Exceptions

The Valdosta State University lACUC has
diurnal lighting schedule of hamsters used
experimental protocol:

a pproved the following exce ption for the
bj in his

“That hamsters used in experimental studies of circadian activity rhythms be kept under
conditions of constant darkness for periods up to 1 month. This is necessary to examine
endogenous rhythms that are not entrained by the environmental lighting cycle. In order
to assess the effects of drugs on endogenous circadian phase, the hamsters must be
allowed to free-run under constant lighting conditions, in this case, constant darkness.”
